Difficulty: Easy to Hard
This does not require any changes to the core. This has been tested on Trinity Core. It should not be limited to other systems, though. If it is, the difficulty turns to hard, because the other systems would require changes to core.
Two files to edit:
- Map.dbc (http://pxr.dk/wowdev/wiki/index.php?title=Map.dbc)
- Areatable.dbc (http://pxr.dk/wowdev/wiki/index.php?title=AreaTable.dbc)
How to ? Simple.
- Enter your Map.dbc. Go to the ID of your map. Look for column 64 (ExpansionID). Change the "Expansion" Number for the continent to at least 1 - better 2. Save. Include on serverside and clientside.
- Enter your Areatable.dbc. Go to the ID of your area. Make sure you take the region, not subregion flag (e.g. Barrens). Look for column 5 (Flag). Add 0x00004400 to the area you want to enable flying at. Save. Include on serverside and clientside.
Necessarities:
- Players and server have the .dbc file with changed flag.
- The Map.dbc must have an updated expansion value for the area you want ot fly in.
- If you want to limit areas people can fly in, set restrictions (either in Noggit or some other way). You do not dismount when leaving for an area you can not fly in. You just can not re-mount again.
- Despite items saying something about "works in area only", you can freely use and activate every mount not restricted to a specific area (example: Item ID 40600 for Bone Gryphon)
- May or may not cause issues with custom continents (.wdt may crash).
- Players must have expansion 2 enabled to access Azeroth after that - else it may lead to weird errors.

If under mangos ... spell.dbc in the file I create a new spell with spell 32235, I put a small zero into the column number 9? What happens exactly after a .learn spell number of the new spell?
PS:
You know what: google is my friend.
Et si sous mangos ... dans le fichier spell.dbc je crée un nouveau spell avec le spell 32235, je mettais un petit zero dans la colonne numero 9? Il se passe quoi au juste apres un .learn spell numero du nouveau spell?

I don't see how this is related ot this topic ... ?
Either you learn the spell as a special, get a trigger spell that has no further effect (as it would require you stand in an area) or you get no skill, as it is a dummy (would show you that you can forget it or that you already learned it).
-
Yes, well, okay.
I have forgotten a thing or two but you should try, just to see. It is the box number 9. Personally, I try, I even linked the spell of an egg ... griffin when you click on it gives me a mount that allows me to ... you should try it costs nothing but a little time.
I better get a screen but I can not post it.
If you find my posts out of the way, you can delete them. It does not bother me.

Oui, bien, d'accord.
J'ai dû oublier un truc ou deux mais vous devriez essayer, rien que pour voir. Elle est bien cette case numéro 9. Personnellement je l'ai essaye, j'ai même lié le spell à un oeuf de ... griffon qui quand on clic dessus me donne une monture qui me permet de ... vous devriez essayer ça coute rien qu'un peu de temps.
Je vous ferais bien un screen mais je ne peux pas le poster.
Si vous trouvez mes posts hors de propos, vous pouvez les effacer. Ca ne me dérangera pas.

Arcemu is impossible because they changed the codelines and they don't like helping anymore.

I just tested my file spell.dbc which operated under the mangos trinity server and it works very well even though the server is not designed to manage the flying mounts in the old world. Have you been able to test it on your respective servers?
PS:
You know what: google is my friend.
Je viens de tester mon fichier spell.dbc qui fonctionnait sous mangos avec le serveur trinity et cela fonctionne trés bien malgré que le serveur ne soit pas prévu pour gerer les montures volantes sur les anciens continents. Avez vous pu faire le teste sur vos serveurs respectif?
-
Thats why Trinity is better. They load most stuff just from DBCs like it should be and dont hardcode stuff.

I tryed to do it and my first problem was in AreaTable.dbc, when i tryed to edit the column 5 with 0x00004400, my dbc editor crashed, then i wrote 00004400 and it worked.
Then i created the patch and put the .dbc the dbc folder, but it didnt work.
After I reedited Map.dbc, and looking around i thought that its the column 63 that must be edited instead 64, I tryed it, I remade the patch, and put the .dbc in the dbc server folder, but it still didnt working.
I just compiled my server (trinitycore) last week end.
I put my "custom" patch (patch-esES-n.MPQ) in wow/data/esES folder (spanish client).
Im really noob in the ?¿Modcrafting?¿, so I would apreciate any help.
(I must apologise for my low english level)
-
delete cache files maybe?
-
Done, still doesnt working :(
-
Would it help if I upload the patch??
:s

It does work. Make sure you use a more common DBC editor, for example MyDBCEditor. It should work properly. Also, it MUST be 0x00004400. It may print an error, but it should let you add that value. If necessary, duplicate another entry, delete everything until 0x0 and start adding other values. It does work. Make sure that:
You edit the column having all the hex values within it.
You add it as proper hex value (0x^^^^^^^^).
You put it into the correct dbc (Areatable.dbc, not map.dbc)
You add the files to your server AND your local files.

Okey, hex values didnt appear to me, because i was ussing taliis and dbceditor. With MyDBCEditor, i can change the hex values, and i did it, but it didnt let me put 0x00004400, it autoconverted the value to 0x4400 (like the other rows of that column).
Now in-game I have the fly-mount icon unlocked, but when i click on it: "You are in the wrong zone" : /
(when i try to teleport to my custom map on my flymount, it autodismount me)
Again excuse my english xD

you can try to turn off the indoor check in your worldserver.conf file,
TrinityCore default is
vmap.enableIndoorCheck = 1
make it a 0, save, restart.
-
nope the config is not the problem, tryed it but it was no solution.
but thx for help

Hi everyone! :)
I'm having the same problem. I changed what needed to be change in DBCs (flag 0x00004400 in Areatable.dbc, and expansion 0 to 2 in map.dbc, etc.). That unlocked fly icons in my customs areas, like the raven form or flying mounts. But the problem is that i still cant use them.
Before to change some stuff in DBcs, i could read "Can't be used here" when i clicked on those flying spells/mounts. But now, i can read "You are in the wrong zone", so i guess something changed, even if the problem isn't solved :D.
If someone can give me a hand, it would be nice! Hope my english is not too bad :)
Screen (sorry, french game) :

Just did it again. Changed Areatable.dbc for that area and map.dbc with expansion. Place both onto client and server. Worked right away, like a charm.

Two files to edit:
---
I've downloaded several DBC editors now, and Norton has removed each of them. Are these programs notorious for carrying viruses and/or spyware, or is there some other reason this is happening?
What do you suggest?

Attempted a different anti-virus program yet ?

Actually, I logged in to say "solved" to that part of the process... I got MyDBCEditor to work... and no, I have a paid-up version of Norton, so I'd be somewhat loathe to easily shuck it...
I made the map.dbc change, which wasn't in row 64, but column 64. The effect is interesting. Now I can mount up in Outland or Northrend and stay mounted (or in druidic flight form) for the ride to Azeroth, and fly until I dismount somewhere.
But now there's a new difficulty. In order to follow your areatable.dbc instruction, I apparently need to be more than the musician and video producer that I am. Evidently, I need to understand a little more about math than I presently do. Specifically, I'm unclear on how one adds 0x00004400 to something else.
For example, let's say that I want players to be able to mount up in Dun Morogh, where column 5 reads "0x41", and Longshore, where it's "0x40000040". Respectively, do they become "0x00004441" and "0x40004440", or perhaps "0x41004400" and "0x84000040"? How does it work?
I'll admit that thinking makes my head hurt... a bit of orcish blood on my father's side... but I'm trying to follow you. Maybe it's that I went through school in the 60's and 70's, when only a few geeks who wore lab coats with pocket protectors and sliderules, knew what algebra was.
